Product Description
'We are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally and in the community of nations we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society and the courage to leapfrog to state-of-the-art engineering and technology pursuits rather than step-by-step scientific developments.' These famous words of Dr Vikram Sarabhai propel every initiative of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The Leapfroggers too is an outcome of the same spirit.
Featured in the book is Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam the first Project Director of SLV-3 India's most prestigious space project in the 1970s. Ved Prakash Sandlas was part of Kalam's core team and eventually took over from him after the first successful launch in 1980. Sandlas was one of the first engineers to join ISRO in its formative years in the 1960s. In this book he reflects on the ISRO culture: the styles values and characteristics of its people; their aspirations and ambitions; and their beliefs prejudices superstitions and limitations. Woven with interesting anecdotes and scientific detail The Leapfroggers is the human story of ISRO's and India's technological advancement.
